5. Preliminary Activity (Mood Setting)
Cat Got Your Tongue (KOKOLOGY)
A dog may be man's best friend, but a cat always seems to be
its own best friend. You may love them or hate them, but cats have
shared as long a history with us humans as any species of animal
on earth, and it's safe to say that they'll be around for ages to come.
We all have our individual perceptions about the cat. Which of the
following four phrases strikes closest to the image you hold?
1. Basking in the sun.
2. Mysterious and inscrutable.
3. Pleasantly soft to the touch.
4. A companionless creature.

6. The description you selected as applying best to cats reveals the
nature of your own true self, in its positive and negative aspects.
1. Basking in the sun.
In describing the catlike activity, rather than the cat itself, you show
sensitivity toward the natural actions of things within their
environments. This makes you an accepting and easily acceptable
person, capable of getting along well with everyone you meet.
2. Mysterious and inscrutable.
You instinctively choose to describe the cat in terms of its
personality, almost as if it were human. Your true inner self is a
kaleidoscope, changing and renewing itself constantly. This makes
predicting your behavior an endlessly intriguing challenge to the
people who love you, but more trouble than you're worth to those
who do not know you.

7. 3. Pleasantly soft to the touch.
To you, the cat presents itself as a physical object, defined
specifically in terms of how it affects you. You see the world as
something created to serve you. This tendency may manifest itself as
an aura of calm self-assurance or simply as excessive self-
involvement.
4. A companionless creature.
You define the cat in social terms, showing the emphasis you place
on the role of the individual within (or apart from) the group. You
are most deeply attuned to the emotional and social realms, making
you appear caring, warm, and genuinely concerned about others.

8. 1. What did you feel when you heard the
interpretation?
2. Does the interpretation describe you?
Why? Why not?
